Why starting thread with poll if you already know the results? Yes, FTN is selling invites too, almost everyone does, so what? You can bash them even without a poll. Oh, that's FST :D Anyway,

I'm not a member so I guess the fourth option is for me.
Well there really should be a "i'm not a member option" as well.

incentives for donations don't hurt anyone...most people aren't buying invites to give to random people
Not a member :)
i knew brandon even before he started ftn and he has always been one of the nicest e-people i know, so occasionally i support his small community
FTN is my dream!
it's not only your dream but everyone's dream!Quote:

Basicly because I love the site.
Been a member since DofR shut down, and since I had a really crappy connection back then, this was the perfect site for me.
It's definitely the tracker I'm most active on, and I get most of my stuff from here.
Not that there arent any alternatives, but this is, to me, definitely the best one out there.
Because I wanted to. I like the site and I want it to survive. Brandon has never given me any reason to distrust him, and I see no reason not to believe the issue with paypal wasn't as he described.
What's this poll supposed to prove again?
They're complete idiots, yeah. There's a far better currency around, it's called tracker invites and buffered accounts. Right? :lol:Quote:

I've donated to FTN and other places for many reasons both good and bad.
The good ( or at least less bad) :
The simple irrational joy that you get in giving .Sometimes the simple fact is that it is better to give than to receive.
Since I use the place and they don't run on air I felt it was the right thing to do.
They were crying low on funds and although maybe stupid I'm not entirely heartless.
Not directly to the tracker per se but when some charity was involved.
The neutral :
To get a(n) invite(s) for someone I either knew well or maybe only casually but thought "deserved" one ( I did say I might be stupid)
Although not applicable to FTN -for upload credit /userclass/immunity from pruning etc.I'm not especially proud of the fact but since the tracker itself makes it an option it's (hopefully)not intrinsically "bad".
The bad:
Sadly for simply "status".To have a star or whatever the associated site might give you and so consequentially been seen as being "good" even though in specific cases because of the reasoning behind it that would be far from true.
That said between all those reasons I don't think rightly or wrongly that there are many trackers that I belong/have belonged to that I haven't given at least a little money .
Or course the same could apparently be said about people who buy invites to simply resell them on Ebay so that fact alone hardly makes me better than anyone else .
Guys, it`s time for us to make some RQ threads :DQuote:

At the same time, Not all members that "DONATE" are good members too...so the challenge is for Tracker Admin. & staff is to find Good paying members for continual survival of the Trackers, U see it in FTN, now in FSC & the ONLY Tracker that "refuses" donation is my all time fourite XXX - Emporium
Their motto is - " We will NEVER ask for donations. PLEASE do NOT send any money to us. "" .....GL - my 2 cents, hope is worth somethin'.
Well most trackers i have seen have a 5 dollar/euro minimum donation so no your 2 cents isnt worth anything :pQuote:

I did NOT remember asking U about your F **kin 2 cents is worth MORE than Mine.....so U do NOT have to knock someone down to make your STUPID comment.Quote:

If he shows an American Flag, surely he knows what "my 2 cents" mean... unless he is Not an American, just simply putting up the flag.:01:Quote:

Cause Trackers only survive with members donations?
i mean it was intended as a joke, as you are also displaying an american flag i would have thought you would have been able to see the "pun" intended but apparently not...
i would apologize but i dont care because you sound like a sensitive douche to me
i mean isnt it hypocritical to expect me to understand your saying and then get upset when you dont understand my sarcasm and/or the emoticons that accompany them?
new kid on the block my ass, get off ur high horse just because you have a high post count on an internet site does not make you cool so act accordingly jackass
Wow.. a lot of Knock me down kinda words,U think FST need your sarcastic remarks as a contribution?Quote:

So, U hurled sarcastic remarks and U call me a touchy Douche...?
So far, I still have NOT call u any names in all my replies. Why don't U chheck on yourself, instead of shooting off your sarcastic mouth and STOP THINKING WITH YOUR DICK !!
Why is the poll allowing voting for more than one option again? I voted for all of them. Talk about abuse. :cool:
How would i be thinking with my dick in this situation? that saying doesnt even apply to anything remotely resembling what is going on here so honestly if you want ppl to understand you start making sense...
As for whether or not FST "needs" my sarcastic remarks, no they dont but they honestly dont "need" anything that is posted here and a good majority of the posts are worthless spam anyways so i fail to see how my post is making any less of a contribution than anything you have said...
Honestly i made a joke to begin with, everyone else took it as so except for you so by definition i wasnt hurling an insult, i was stating a fact when i called you a touchy and/or sensitive. As for being a douche by the way you reacted i was just stating what i thought was pretty obvious to everyone else
If you want to play the "bigger man" card then reacting the way you are is completely inappropriate and you should just ignore me
otherwise do not act like you have reacted in a way that is any less petty and immature than i have because you haven't and would have to be completely ignorant to think otherwise
I am glad, U are so eloquent in your xplanation... BTW,..all about NOTHING Much to say..so much so, U are even speaking for others and their 2 cents worth, why don't U stick with your 2 cents, and try NOT to step on someone toes, the next time U shoot off your mouth.:angry:Quote:

How can a complete mess start with such a misinterpretation. I took anonymous0711 comment as a joke.
If it keeps this way, soon Idol will be in trouble...

it was a pun( a form of word play which exploits the ambiguity of a statement, allowing it to be understood in multiple ways for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect)
at one point you made reference to the fact that if i was after all from the US as it suggests in my profile than i would have understood your reference to your "2 cents"
well if you are also from the US as yours suggest than you would understand the use of a pun
